In Episode 172, we listen to Dr. Pat Davidson tell us about his dedicated journey into the world of competitive bodybuilding. Pat has the tendency to engage in all types of training and competitions since he was a young athlete that had the hopes of becoming a professional athlete. Whether it has been team sports, mixed martial arts, powerlifting or strongman competitions, Pat has jumped in with both feet and walked the walk. His recent experiences with competitive bodybuilding have been no different. Pat discusses the psychological discipline required to handle not only the comprehensive training, but more importantly, the meticulous nature of the nutritional side of competitive bodybuilding. The combination of precision, organization and deprivation is something that Pat had never before experienced, and he cites this component as being one of the more challenging aspects of his journey. We look forward to following Pat’s future endeavours along this bodybuilding path.
Pat Davidson, Ph.D, is an exercise physiologist, strength and conditioning coach, author, consultant, and traveling lecturer. Pat started out in the fitness world as an athlete who was looking to find any training and nutrition tool possible to make him the best he could possibly be at sports. This passion for training knowledge ultimately led Pat to pursuing a Master’s in Science in Strength and Conditioning, and a Ph.D in Exercise Physiology. Pat has worked as a Professor of Exercise Science at Springfield College and Brooklyn College, along with being the Director of Continuing Education and Training Methodology at Peak Performance in NYC.

Episode 171 has us sitting down with Andrew Hauser, in the midst of the 2024 World Series between the LA Dodgers and NY Yankees, talking about the nuances of rehabilitation and the intricacies of professional baseball. Andrew has had the opportunity to work in Major League Baseball for over a decade and now works in private practice addressing injuries for all professional athletes, including the MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS and Olympic team athletes. We discuss some of the causes of the injuries that are plaguing various athletes, looking at basic qualities like blood flow, oxygen distribution and general fitness levels. Today’s athletes are so fixated on the specific skills in their sports and sometimes miss the basic physical qualities in their preparation and maintenance programs. Andrew identifies his process for improving athlete health and resiliency, as well identifying potential risks for injury in various sports.
Andrew graduated from the University of Kansas with a B.S. in Athletic Training in 2008 and obtained a Masters degree in Performance Psychology in 2020. He has worked in a variety of roles in his 14 years of experience as an athletic trainer and strength coach, with his most recent role being the Director of Performance Rehab with the Los Angeles Dodgers during which time he was a part of their 2020 World Series team. Andrew's passions lie in both the strength and medical aspects of sport, but also in professional development and education. Prior to moving to L.A., he served as the Director of Health & Performance for the Atlanta Braves where he oversaw medical and strength staff and was able to integrate departments both in the Major League and Minor Leagues all while continuing to develop and refine his and his colleagues' skills. Andrew's experience in sport extends beyond baseball. He has worked with a number of athletes in the NFL, NHL, MLS and track/field and has become a sought-after consultant and public speaker for professionals and athletes nation-wide.

In Episode 170, we have a frank discussion with Dr. Dwayne Jackson about the ins-and-outs of testosterone deficiencies and the need for individuals to seek out supplemental testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). It is more and more common to hear about males seeking out TRT for lifestyle and aesthetic reasons. However, do they truly need to replace testosterone from a clinical standpoint, or are they compensating for poor lifestyle choices, bad or non-existent exercise habits or simply not exhausting conventional methods of managing their testosterone and general health? Dr. Jackson provides an overview of all of the possible causes of low testosterone, as well as possible reasons for these deficiencies. For those that are willing to examine their lifestyle choices and make changes, improvements in testosterone levels can be achieved. But, in some cases, testosterone therapy may be a reasonable option when all of the conventional options have been exhausted.
Dr. Dwayne N. Jackson is a dad, athlete, health specialist, medical educator, scientist, and entrepreneur. He has over 12 years of university education in exercise/human physiology, medicine, and nutritional biochemistry. Dr. Jackson holds a PhD in neurovascular physiology and has been educated at some of the top academic institutions in North America including University of Ottawa, the University of Western Ontario, and Yale University School of Medicine.

It was time to bring back Charlie Weingroff for Episode 169 to talk about some serious stuff. Charlie and Don had a private conversation a few weeks ago on the subject of scientific research in health, wellness and performance, and where it fits in the selection of protocols, exercises and other key ingredients for optimal performance and health. While some practitioners are quick to support their own positions with research papers, or argue against another professional’s methods using peer reviewed research as a basis, we discuss the nuances of using research in an intelligent manner. Practical experience, case studies, intuition and research can form a strong foundation of knowledge and skill that can go a long way to bolster the work of a successful practitioner or coach. Charlie identifies the key elements that go into establishing foundational knowledge and practice.

Don and Derek reflect on the concept of incorporating running workouts as part of an overall aerobic training and conditioning program to improve overall body composition, health and wellness. It is no surprise that obesity numbers are continuing to increase in the western world and individuals are struggling to incorporate regular exercise into their schedules, while also improving overall nutritional habits. While running has always been considered a relatively simple way to add exercise to an individual’s routine, it has never been considered an easy task. Determination, patience and a bit of grit may be required.
Understanding how much, how hard and how frequently is always the most difficult part when starting a running program. Ideally, individuals can incorporate a combination of methods including steady state runs and interval training to provide a combination of variety and varied intensity, improving overall cardiovascular fitness, as well as general strength and power. Finding a routine that works for the individual is the most important step you can take in this journey.

In Episode 165, Don and Derek share their stories about recent long-haul trips and the challenges they faced with everything from sleep to hydration to nutrition and workout facility accessibility. While even short-haul travel can take a toll on your energy and overall health, longer trips over numerous time zones can present even greater challenges and stressful moments.
Sleep is always the main priority, as jet lag can disturb energy, productivity and overall enjoyment. Hydration also plays a bit part in facilitating good sleep, exercise and overall resiliency to injury and illness. Accessibility to healthy and familiar food can also be a challenge, and some individuals may choose to bring specific snacks or supplements to fill in gaps. And, finally, finding good facilities, environments and equipment abroad can take a lot of research, planning and preparation. Doing all of the legwork ahead of time can be extremely beneficial in making sure your travel goes much smoother with less stress and anxiety.

In Episode 164, we talk to Dr. Mike Israetel about both the benefits and perils of the wealth information on health, fitness, nutrition and performance available on social media and other accessible sources. While it should not be difficult to find good, well-researched, common-sense information on these subjects, people still appear to be attracted to unproven trends, online gurus, charismatic influencers and methods that are simply not effective. Dr. Israetel gives us many solid recommendations on how to find good sources of information, while avoiding the pitfalls of unfounded fads and trends. He even talks about the benefits of AI (artificial intelligence) driven resources that can provide relatively good advice for anyone looking to improve their workouts, diets or general health.

Expanding his business to online training services – while many people may think it would be easier – has also involved the same level of dedication and commitment to ensure the quality of the programs remains high. Hard work yields results, whether you are the trainer or the trainee.

In Episode 157, we are fortunate to get some time speaking with Matt Wenning. Although Matt has tremendous experience in the sport of powerlifting and the physical preparation of athletes, he also has extensive experience in the restoration, repair and engineering of motor vehicles. We talk about his current automotive projects, as well as how he translates those skills and concepts to strength training. The details of Matt’s education and career development are inspiring, as well as his focus and discipline around becoming a better athlete and coach.
Matt Wenning is a three-time world champion powerlifter. He holds a Master’s Degree in Biomechanics and a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Ball State University. Matt grew up in Indiana, raised by a hard-working, middle class family. When he was six years old, Matt was hit by a car going 50 mph, which took a toll on his physical development. After undergoing 12 months of full leg casts and 12 months in a boot, his legs were underdeveloped. Four years later, Matt discovered lifting. It allowed him to see he was capable of anything, despite what he had gone through during recovery from his injuries. In the beginning, lifting was just a stepping stone to the goal of football. But it became a much larger pathway in his life. Lifting inspired Matt to attain higher education and become a strength coach. He excelled with a 3.9 GPA.
Matt has been an adviser for the NFL, an international speaker for the NSCA, as well as a contractor for border patrol, airborne divisions, and the pentagon. He has directed over 6000 troops in strength, conditioning, and wellness for the U.S. Army including Infantry and Ranger Divisions.

In Episode 154, Don and Derek discuss the simplicity and efficacy of running as a fitness modality. We have seen the shift to other forms of aerobic fitness training over the last few decades, with many options available to individuals looking to improve aerobic conditioning, improve body composition and manage stress in their lives. But few people know how to assemble a sound running program and may be intimidated by the challenge of using running as a primary fitness tool. Don and Derek review the many methods used to introduce running to the general population, as well as the key issues around staying healthy when adopting a running program.
